Carly Fiorina is in the running to be America’s top spy, according to a report. The former Republican presidential candidate visited Trump Tower on Monday for a job “interview” to be director of national intelligence, the New York Times reported Monday.

On Oct. 7, the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security issued a joint statement saying that the U.S. Intelligence Community — which includes 16 member agencies — was “confident” that recent hacks into the email systems of the Democratic Party were directed by the Russian government.
Joint Statement, Oct. 7: The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.

After the election, at a House hearing on Nov. 17, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said the Intelligence Community did not release a statement until October — nearly four months after the DNC hack was publicly disclosed — because it wanted to have enough evidence before going public with such an allegation against Russia.
“We gave considerable thought to diming out Russia,” Clapper said. “With that statement, we waited until we felt we had sufficient basis for it and we did, both from a forensic and as well as other sources of intelligence that led us to that statement.”

I love how The Daily Mail, a British equivalent of The Enquirer, continues to spew out fake news and/or lies so the bucket carrying Trumpolites fall for it.

Your thread title says CIA rejects claim of Russian hacking. Then the article you put says right there, right there in your own OP, the very first words, that the CIA claim if Russian hacking is rejected by ODNI.

You didn't even read what you posted. Your post clearly says that the CIA says there was a Russian hack, but ODNI rejects the CIA claim.

From your OP. First lines.
